The Dark Symphony of Sands: A Retrospective Review of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (PS2 ROM) Platform: Sony PlayStation 2 (Emulated via PCSX2 / Original Hardware) Genre: Action-Adventure / Platformer Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Release Date: 2005 Introduction: The Wraith of a Trilogy In the mid-2000s, Ubisoft resurrected a dormant giant.
